Obama’s Big Miscalculation
2014-11-22
"Frank Fukuyama, no howling partisan, has tagged President Obama's decision to circumvent Congress on immigration as a "bad call," and while the President's limited offer of a three-year temporary work authorization for people in the country illegally was not the worst or the most radical step he could have taken, Frank is right. This was the wrong step at the wrong time. At the very minimum, the President should have given the new Congress ninety days to act before going it alone. Failing to do so isn't just a slap in the face of his Republican opponents; it is a slap in the face of the voters who no longer trust the President and his party on the big issues of national life."

#7  He hasn't miscalculated a thing, he knows no one has effectively resisted any of his moves since he came into office. He has E.O. in his tool box and can do anything he wants. Sue him and he will be out of office if, anything is declared null or void, big deal he has but 790 days left in office.

Face it, he could care less.

#6  the American hard left believed that the new immigrants would lead American society away from the antiquated individualism of earlier generations into the brave new world of socialist collectivism they saw rising in the future.

Seriously? They believe this of people who leave villages in poorly functioning nations so they can come to America and by hard work over long hours accomplish the American dream as they could not back home? Wow.

Fools.

#4  What Champ legacy ?

Wait until he releases the last 142 from GITMO, gives the base to the Cubans. Air Force One lands in Havana, Champ declares normalization of relations with Castro.

Castro immediately turns the base into a Cuban 'Anti-Yanki holocaust museum.' It's the least the Champ could do.

This has worked out so well in the rest of the world (sarc). How many died as the result of these misbegotten notions? What was it 100,000,000 and still counting?

Why anyone would embrace this failed, dangerous ideology is baffling.

#2  So I asked my Doctor,

"What are we going to do about this dangerous virus from Africa?"

And he replied, "I don't know, he still has two more years in office.”

#1  Doesn't matter. If the old congress doesn't do anything about it before the new one finally sits then it's 'precedent' and old news.

Even now the MSM is claiming that Obamacare can't be undone. And soon it will be his Amnesty 'Can't be undone - think of the CHILDREN!';
